The Hon’ble Prime
Minister has launched
“Jeevan Aadhaar”(Aadhaar based
biometric verification system for
pensioner). To make its
implementation successful Department
of Financial Services has constituted a sub-group
comprising of RBI, Indian Bank’s Association (IBA),..
State Bank of India, Punjab
National Bank, Bank of Baroda
and Canara Bank. Accordingly; ·RBI, IBA and Department
of Financial Services have issued necessary
guidelines/ instructions to all banks for their convenience. To implement
Jeevan Pramaan it is necessary on the part of banks to seed the
Aadhaar number with Pension Payment Order and bank
account number. To complete this task, all banks have to take special
drive to collect the Aadhaar number. of pensioners and make it a part of
their master data.

In the above context Addl. CGA has taken a meeting on
24.12.2014 with the discuss the further
strategy for speedy implementation of the system. In
the meeting, it was decided that to ensure the genuineness of the
pensioner it is necessary to seed the Aadhaar number with
PPO and pensioners bank account. Because at present banks are
not having pensioners’ data base on their server to
link them with the details of PPOs and Aadhaar numbers, they
were advised to prepare a database of pensioners
account first at the earliest and
link them with Aadhaar server. For this purpose,
they will call the pensioners to come to bank along with
their original Aadhaar card and its photocopy for
identification. The designated officer of the bank will
identify the pensioner with reference to the PPO and KYC document
and seed his pension account with Aadhaar server.

He will keep the photocopy of Aadhaar Card in the
pensioners’ folder for record. The bank will apply this
strategy immediately with those pensioners whose life
certificates are still pending and are interested to opt for
digital certification of their life. Thereafter, they
may complete this task well before November, 2015, when life
certificate becomes dues.

A column for Aadhaar number has been provided in the format
of master data and made available on CPAOs website. All CPPCs
are advised to update their master data duly seeded with PPO number
& bank account numbers and send the same to CPAO by e-mail at
cpaomasterdata@gmail.com at the earliest
so that CPAO also updates its master
data for validation purpose.

This task must be completed on top priority basis.
